Our human state exists on a spectrum from the Yin, solidity, of the body through to the Yang, ethereal nature of our thoughts, and we answer to both forces. So when you enter a yoga asana, how driven are you by either the yang force of your mind – as in your pre-conception of what you want to achieve in that posture, as opposed to the Yin signals coming from your body? Pay attention as what you observe is often a metaphor, and representative for how your mind works in your life; that sometimes we favour our mental vision over what we are experiencing in the grounded reality through our body – and over-stretch ourselves, and sometimes we sit too easily in our comfort zone and don’t push out enough!
